“Joy comes to us in ordinary moments. We risk missing out when we get too busy chasing the extraordinary.” Brené Brown

You don’t have to do it all.
You don’t have to be it all.
A little pause can be everything.

Some peaceful thoughts for a Sunday morning x

“Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.” Henry James

Kindness never goes out of season. Every moment is a chance to care. Compassion makes the world gentler.

Great advice on helping someone who is grieving.

When there's no time left in a working week to pause, reflect, and think, and each day's packed full with tasks, surely that's actually counter-productive? Truly getting the work done also depends on space to think, time to be there for each other, and connecting as human beings.

“Unexpected kindness is the most powerful, least costly, and most underrated agent of human change.” Bob Kerrey

Never underestimate the power of kindness. 🧡

“Self-care is giving the world the best of you, instead of what’s left of you.” Katie Reed.

There’s a lot happening in the world, and it’s easy to feel the burden. Be gentle with yourself. Allow space for your own well-being. It isn’t selfish. It’s necessary. 🧡

This morning’s sunshine has reminded me of the word ‘philocaly’: a love of beauty, even in the smallest things.

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.

To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.
